Question

Yes lybrate-user you are grossly underweight. You need to improve your diet. Include high protein and high good quality fat and carbohydrate too in your diet. Add dry fruits like almond, walnut, dates and figs at least fistful twice daily. Dry roasted peanuts n horse gram along with jaggery in between meals as snacks is good option. Have cottage cheese or eggs daily in your diet. Take good quality protein supplement with milk twice daily. You have to get complete blood cell count along with haemoglobin and sugar and hiv, hbsag and vdrl for now it is sufficient.
